Poor old Sharon, she doesn’t know if she’s coming or going this week. Fresh off the plane from Oz – jetlagged to the max – and then she walks in on her one-time toy-boy lover getting up close with her stepdaughter. “Soap characters never realise they’re in a soap” But what did she expect? Surely she’s a lady who’s made enough comebacks to that Square to know you’re seriously unlikely to wander into a sedate tea party where people politely enquire about each other’s health and discuss the weather. It never ceases to amaze me that people who live in soaps don’t seem to realise that they live in a soap. They still think their wedding will be the “perfect day”, they still say, “I’ve never been happier in my…

Walford’s most complicated love triangle is spicing up a treat this week – as Sharon walks back through the door just as Keanu is giving in to temptation with Louise! Phil’s missus fled to Australia for an extended holiday after ending her affair with her toy-boy lover. But how does Sharon feel now that she’s had some time to think things over? And what will she make of Keanu locking lips with Lou? “It won’t have crossed Sharon’s mind for a second that Keanu may have moved on – let alone by dating her stepdaughter!” splutters our Square insider. “She is absolutely gobsmacked, and while Sharon won’t admit it, the sight of him and Louise together really hurts.” I LOVE LOU! After a rocky few weeks, Louise and Keanu have…

Have you enjoyed playing out Nicola’s scamming storyline? I do love playing Nicola, and me and Ryan [Hawley, who plays Robert] have been having a good laugh at the stupidity of our characters. I think it’s nice playing people who do wrong things – the audience likes it too, and hopes they’ll get caught! What would be Nicola’s dream job? She’d love to be a lady of leisure and have lots of money, but I also think she’d get bored with that. She’s an excellent PA – no one could ever doubt that – but perhaps she’d like to have her own company. She’s not a good people person, though, so she’d need to work on that! Will this be the last time she gets up to no good? I…

Here is your first look at the man who could potentially be Paddy Kirk’s long-lost father! Emmerdale bosses have revealed that Joshua Richards is to play Bear Wolf – a wrestler who is suspected to have enjoyed a secret fling with Paddy’s mum many years ago, and may turn out to be the fella’s biological father. In light of the news, Paddy is set to attend a wrestling convention to get to the truth – although his quest will later lead to some very special episodes that will see a few Dales locals head to Northern Ireland… “It proves quite the adventure when Paddy and Marlon track down Bear in Belfast, as Paddy’s life is turned upside down,” shares Emmerdale producer Kate Brooks. “However, Bear isn’t the only familiar face…

Future scenes in Corrie threaten to drive a wedge between David and Shona – when she is reunited with her murderer son, Clayton Hibbs. Filming is under way for the evil lad’s comeback, after Weatherfield boss Iain MacLeod told us that Clayton’s return would test David and Shona’s bond like never before… “The fact that David is in love with the mother of the boy who killed the love of his life, Kylie, is so huge and such a ripe area to explore,” he explained. “Clayton rears his ugly criminal head and throws a spanner in the works for David, as he tries to embroil Shona in a plot to smuggle drugs into prison. It becomes a story about Shona and her son, and will prove…

Nancy and Kyle’s budding romance is exposed this week, when her ex-husband Darren finds the couple naked on the sofa! Since Darren left Nancy for Mandy, she’s been down on her luck when it comes to love – so best friend Kyle decides that it’s time to change all that, and installs a dating app on Nancy’s phone. Although what starts out as a bit of fun has more serious consequences… “Nancy is quite horrified by the dating app, to be honest!” explains Jessica Fox, who plays Nancy. “She doesn’t think she’s ready to date. But Kyle matches her with someone, so she hasn’t anything to lose.” However, Nancy’s date turns out to be a total disaster – as he doesn’t even show up! “Nancy’s pretty devastated,” says Jessica. “Her…

“This is all I’ve ever dreamt of, since I first saw you… Me and you – doing things like this.” “What, having cancer and premature babies? You have weird dreams, you.” Sinead’s humour in the face of adversity is just so darn sweet. “What do you prefer in a man, biceps or abs?” “Have you actually seen my Paddy?” Charm and compassion are far more important than abs, Ellis. But yeah, maybe not biceps. “I’ve had no complaints!” Well, except from the council noise abatement team. “Do you think you’re the first person to have a kid? We’ve all been there. Everything hurting, your body don’t feel like it’s your own. Look at Nan, she lost her figure in 1953 and never got it back again!” “Some days, I hate…

Soon after, Wayne shocks them both with a request… Meanwhile, Damien suspects Mairead has feelings for him following an incident at work. And Ray struggles to get on with technology.

It’s a big week for Alfie, as he and girlfriend Yasmine prepare to break the news to their parents that they’re moving to Washington! But will their families really let them leave? Richard Linnell ponders Alfie’s difficult decision… How does Alfie feel about the internship he’s been offered in the States? It’s an amazing opportunity for him – it’s the chance of a lifetime, and it’s what he’s wanted to do for years. He’s desperate to make scientific breakthroughs, but then he has this situation where he’s leaving his family behind. How does he break the news? He settles on James as a good person to tell – but every time Alfie tries to talk to him, James is busy. Then Romeo overhears Alfie practising the discussion he wants to…

WE HAD SOME CONCERNS THAT we wouldn’t be able to watch this show – in which Ashley Banjo matchmakes by choreographing a dance for potential couples to perform together on their first date – without cringing ourselves inside out. And while it remains a dating strategy we’re happy to leave to others, we’ve been quite bowled over by what a lovely show it is to watch. Ashley isn’t just a natural at coming up with beautiful routines, he’s also great at getting people to speak honestly about their love lives – and the big reveals of those first meetings get us all emotional, in the very best way.…

COPPED OUT Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays will star in new Sky One comedy Code 404. It follows a dead detective brought back to life – but without any of his sleuthing skills… BABY BOOM Emma Willis is going from here to maternity again – W has commissioned a second series of Emma Willis: Delivering Babies. She’ll be back at Princess Alexandra Hospital, this time as a qualified Maternity Care Assistant. WAR TORN Gold is set to recreate three missing classics of comedy this year in Dad’s Army: The Lost Episodes. Kevin R McNally will play Captain Mainwaring in the remakes, with Robert Bathurst as Sergeant Wilson and Bernard Cribbins as Private Godfrey.…

GILLIAN TAYLFORTH (Kathy Beale, EastEnders ) IN Kathy’s been off our screens for the past few months while Gillian Taylforth has been taking a break, but Ian’s mum is set to return next week – which could be good news for Masood! The pair got extremely close last summer at the opening of the restaurant – before their passionate clinch was interrupted by Ian, and utter chaos ensued! So will they manage to make a go of things this time round? Next week COURTNEY MILLER (Bella Nixon, Home and Away ) IN Colby’s search for his sister Bella finally bears fruit next week – although their reunion might not be quite what he was expecting! The rebellious teenager is played by 22-year-old Courtney Miller, who is…

PRO Blonde, bright and beautiful, Sharon is Walford’s original princess. Any man would be thrilled to be her prince! Blonde, bright and beautiful, Louise is the heir to the Mitchell throne (should her brother Ben meet an untimely death). Any man would be thrilled to be her prince! CON Sharon and Keanu could be very happy – if it weren’t for her brute of a psychopathic husband, Phil Mitchell! Louise and Keanu could be very happy – if it weren’t for her brute of a psychopathic father, Phil Mitchell! PRO Sharon has stable influences in her life – best friend Michelle Fowler is a tower of support (when she’s not busy snogging an American student half her age). Louise has stable influences in her life – best friend Bex Fowler…

It was touch-and-go for poor Sinead when she was forced to deliver her son Bertie early, after learning that her cervical cancer had spread. Both mother and baby made it through the delivery – but while the premature tot still requires surgery, Coronation Street star Katie McGlynn admits that her alter ego isn’t out of the woods. And Sinead’s illness might yet result in her making a tragic exit from the cobbles… “I’m contracted well into this year, but the story is still up in the air,” says Katie, when asked about Sinead’s chances of survival. “With the nature of the storyline, I guess it’s 50/50.” Adding to the uncertainty of Sinead’s future, Weatherfield boss Iain MacLeod recently confessed to Inside Soap that he hasn’t yet…

He’s topped every Inside Soap wish list of Walford returnees since his dramatic exit in 2008, and now our dreams have come true – Sean Slater is on his way back to Albert Square! EastEnders bosses have confirmed that star Rob Kazinsky, who has had a successful Hollywood career since leaving the soap, will return as Stacey’s handsome and hot-headed older brother for a short stint this spring… “This year marked 10 years since Sean fled from Walford after plunging into a frozen lake,” grins Rob. “Throughout my career, I’ve always felt that my best work was on EastEnders as Sean, that there was something in him that I understood completely, something traumatic, something that we never really got to show the viewers. I have unfinished…

EastEnders’ Danny Dyer (Mick) has pledged his commitment to the soap, insisting he’ll stay in Walford for as long as bosses will have him. The actor is appearing with Martin Freeman in comedies A Slight Ache and The Dumb Waiter at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London – and is also presenting two-part TV series Danny Dyer’s Right Royal Family. So we can be forgiven for wondering if he still has time to run the Vic as Mick, but there is no need to fret… “As long as the powers-that-be want Mick around, and I’ve got me little Carter mob, I ain’t goin’ nowhere!” promises Danny. Meanwhile, it sounds as if Dot’s good influence on nasty Stuart could have a lasting effect. “Redemption for Stuart is a long…

“With Evelyn in Corrie fitting into her role as the new Blanche so beautifully, they should resurrect the One O’clock Club. I know we never saw much of what went on at that gathering of local pensioners, but the tales Blanche used to spin really cracked me up!” …says reader Samantha “I’m desperate for Bianca to make a return to Walford and get Tiff back on the straight and narrow. Tiff really needs her mum. Even evil Evie wouldn’t stand a chance against Bianca on the warpath!” …suggests reader Kim from Wrexham “Is it too much to hope that Hollyoaks serial killer Breda might bump off Luke Morgan? I can’t take any more of his drunken outbursts, and he has been a…

Sonya’s diagnosis will come as a huge shock to Neighbours fans, who have been rooting for her to see some happier times following Andrea’s meddling. However, Eve informs us that this is a really important story to tell… “It’s Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in the UK in March, so the timing is very opportune,” says the actress. “Hopefully it will prompt women to follow up any concerns with their doctor.” Symptoms of ovarian cancer include feeling bloated constantly, discomfort in your tummy or pelvic area, feeling full quickly when eating, and needing to pee more often than normal – plus the risk increases if you are over 50, or have a history of breast cancer in your family. The good news is that the earlier the illness is diagnosed and…

Stacey finally manages to convince Jay to ask Ruby out on a date this week – and the lucky lady says yes! The path of true love fails to run smoothly when the pair attempt to get their relationship off the ground, though – as meddling Billy intervenes! And while, against all the odds, Ruby and Jay do eventually manage to spend an enjoyable evening together, Ruby returns home to find that her flat has been burgled. Is their burgeoning romance doomed already? “Well done to Stacey for pushing Jay to at last make a move!” applauds our Walford spy. “She knows better than anyone that traumatised Ruby deserves some joy in her life. Now all Ruby and Jay need is for everyone else to leave them in peace, so…

“With Seb and Abi, there’s a fine line between love and hate,” explains Harry. “Seb loves her, but he essentially thinks she’s a waste of space, and they’re always going to have that kind of relationship. But I really enjoy my scenes with Sally, and the way we bounce off each other. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to be playing my mum. She’s a great person for me to look up to and learn a lot from, because she’s just such a talented actor.” Turn to p42 for our chat with Sally Carman, as her alter ego Abi faces off with Carla……

Iain and Ruby are terrified this week, when they find themselves held hostage by a gun-wielding maniac! The alarming drama unfolds after they’re called out to a shout – and Iain soon ends up alone with the gunman, unable to treat the injured patient. As his Army training kicks in, Iain deduces that all of the weapon’s bullets must have been used already – so he takes a risk by putting himself in the firing line to reach the patient! Will his gamble pay off, or will there be bloodshed?…

Al is delighted when his close friend vicar Frances returns to Letherbridge this week. While Frances has been working in New Zealand, she and Al have kept in touch via letter – so when he receives a note informing him that she’s back in the country, he’s thrilled. In a two-part episode written by Ian Midlane, who plays Al, the smitten medic tags along while Frances spends the day visiting her former parishioners, and it’s clear there’s still a spark there. But when Frances reveals she’s leaving on Sunday, is Al prepared to let her go?…

Laurie and Sienna get closer this week, when he invites her out on a double date with Sinead and Brody. Laurie has been taking advantage of Sienna at the school, but she has yet to report her cruel colleague. While out on the date – and Brody and Sinead are happily distracted by their cocktails – Laurie gets closer to Sienna. But after Nancy spots the two of them together, she wastes no time in storming over to fill in Sinead regarding Sienna’s previous boyfriend-stealing antics! Will Sinead realise that it’s actually her husband who is up to no good?…

I’ve never been a massive fan of Sinead in Coronation Street – I always thought that she was a bit of a wet blanket. However, this cancer plot has really changed my mind about her. Sinead has shown incredible strength of character while dealing with it all, and actress Katie McGlynn has put in such an outstanding performance. I’m hoping that there will be a happy ending. | Karina , Exeter I cried my eyes out while watching Sinead undergo an emergency C-section. My own little girl was born prematurely six years ago, and I felt every bit of Sinead’s pain as she waited desperately for news on her baby’s fate. My daughter managed to make it through, so let’s hope Bertie is a little fighter too. | Charlotte He’s…

There’s nothing we enjoy more than having an underdog soap heroine to really root for – and in Corrie’s Abi Franklin, we’ve found just that. We first met Abi at her lowest ebb, consumed by drug addiction and failing her children. The only way was up. And although she’s stumbled at every step on her path to sobriety and self-belief, she’s made remarkable progress – and we love her for it. Now, she’s poised to embark on a romance with Peter, which will surely bring its own dramas and challenges. But according to actress Sally Carman, who plays Abi, this new partnership has proved to be a highlight of her life on Coronation Street so far… “Chris Gascoyne [aka Peter] is just a dreamboat – pardon the pun!” chuckles the…

EastEnders fans will remember him best as Albert Square’s teen heartthrob Jamie Mitchell – and now 16 years later, star Jack Ryder is to return to Elstree, the studios that the soap shares with Holby, to play Chloe’s on-off squeeze, Evan… “We’ve had some intimate and intense scenes together, and I couldn’t have asked for a lovelier colleague – Jack is great,” enthuses Amy. “I’ll be working with him again soon, and we’ll be getting stuck into a cool storyline that I can’t talk about yet. We’re really looking forward to it!”…

1 Kimberley Gail Marsh was born on 13 June 1976 in Merseyside to her Lebanese mother Pauline and father David Marsh. Kym is one of four, with a sister, Tracey, and two brothers, David and John. Kym attended the Elliott-Clarke Performing Arts school in Liverpool for two years, but left aged 15, unhappy that the course didn’t offer more singing. 2 Before she found fame, Kym had a number of jobs – including a receptionist, sales assistant, singing teacher, and even an Ann Summers party rep! If she hadn’t been successful in singing or acting, she says she would have been a make-up artist. “Two weeks prior to my audition for Popstars, I’d enrolled in college to do beauty,” reveals Kym. “I’d decided that it was my last year of…

Corrie’s Bev Callard (Liz) has had a busy month, juggling her Street filming by day with a role in The Rocky Horror Show on stage in the evening. However, the actress looked relaxed and happy as she posed with her husband Jon McEwan after a successful opening night, which was attended by many of her Coronation Street pals – who all praised Bev on her performance as the show’s narrator. The actress was appearing in the Manchester leg of the show’s tour, and the 60-year-old showed off an enviable pair of pins as she posed in the show’s infamous fishnet tights along with her castmates. Bev took it all in her stride, though, being well known for Liz’s risqué outfits – which she once branded ‘disgusting’. “Someone on the…

THE BRIDGE CLUB Former Coronation Street actor Robert James-Collier (Liam Connor) is teaming up with ex-Emmerdale star Charlie Hardwick (Val Pollard) for series three of Channel 4’s school drama Ackley Bridge. Robert will be playing new deputy head Martin Evershed, while Charlie has won the role of Sue Carp, the school’s new director of behaviour. “I’m thrilled to play Martin,” says Robert. “Such fearless and talented young actors bring a special spirit on set and I hope I can learn from it and add to it, in my own special way.” IT’S RAINING MEN Paul Nicholls (EastEnders’ Joe Wicks from 1996 to 1997) has joined forces with Chris Fountain (Corrie’s Tommy Duckworth from 2011 to 2013) for the UK stage tour of Rain Man, based on the classic 1988 Oscar-winning…

While we can’t say we’re exactly enjoying the storyline as such, we’d like to pay tribute to the fine work being done by actors Joe-Warren Plant and Louisa Clein in the Emmerdale grooming plot. It’s a tough watch, but makes a very important point to young viewers that women can be predators too. We hope Jacob can break free – and Maya receives a proper comeuppance! It’s good to see Debbie putting her grief for Joe to solid, practical use… To blackmail her way back into that swanky house! Here’s a bit of insider trivia for you… We can reveal that ‘ Weatherfield hospital’ is actually the ITV reception we report to when visiting the Corrie studio in Salford. That big yellow…

The run-up to Peter’s declaration of love this week sees Carla’s closest friends concerned for her welfare. Nick reveals to Roy that Carla has been skipping meals and working all the hours God sends, while Michelle is shocked and surprised to see Carla be rude to an old business client over lunch. It’s been revealed that Carla will face mental health problems this spring, so are the week’s events the first signs of her struggle? “Carla makes the decision that her life’s priority is her work,” says Corrie boss Iain MacLeod. “It leads to her making mistakes in her personal and professional lives. She ends up getting on the wrong side of a lot of people.”…

Stacey & Jean While Sean always had a very close bond with his sister, his relationship with mum Jean was extremely volatile. Expect fireworks! Ruby He seduced Ruby purely to get her dad Johnny Allen’s money, and broke her heart. Poor Ruby is in no state to be reminded of Sean’s cruelty right now! Jack and Max Jack turned out to be Amy Mitchell’s father when Sean believed her to be his child. As for Max, Sean helped Tanya Branning to bury him alive! Roxy (RIP) The biggest pity of all is that Sean’s ex-wife Roxy is no longer with us to react to his shock return. It’s the soap showdown we’d pay money to see!…

A date for Tate! Dales star Claire King has revealed when superbitch Kim Tate will be back to taunt the village – and we’ve not long to wait! “Back on screen end of February/beginning of March,” she wrote on Twitter. Reaching out Charity Survivors Manchester has reported a rise in helpline calls after the transmission of Ollie Morgan’s grooming storyline in Hollyoaks. “We’re averaging two-to-three calls a day,” says a spokesperson. Matt hurts! Neighbours’ Matt Wilson is recovering from a watersports accident. The star, who plays Aaron, is expected to return to filming despite recently puncturing a lung and fracturing his spine. Ouch!…

SELLING HER BABY! Not content with duping Roy Cropper into thinking that he’d knocked her up, money-grabbing Tracy sold baby Amy to him and Hayley. The couple enjoyed a few weeks of parental bliss with young ‘Patience’, as they named her – till Tracy changed her mind and claimed her kid back! DESTROYING HER DAD! When Tracy realised Steve wanted joint custody of baby Amy, she set out to ruin him. Not only did she accuse him of kidnapping the baby, but she also said Steve abused their daughter. How on earth are they now married? TAKING HER TEEN ON THE RUN! When Tracy decided to leg it with convicted killer Rob Donovan, she dragged Amy along too. She’d planned to flee abroad with Rob, stealing her daughter away from…

“Louisa Lytton [aka Ruby] is a diamond,” grins the actor. “Our characters haven’t crossed over before, because Louisa left just as I started when she was first in the show. Ruby’s had this big consent story recently, and it’s interesting, as Jay has been on the other side of it [when he discovered in 2016 that his then-girlfriend Linzi ‘Star’ Bragg had lied about how old she was, and was underage]. We don’t really explore that, but Louisa’s lovely – so it’s nice to be doing these scenes with her.”…

There are painful consequences for Mick this week, when he ends up doing his back in after a drunken mess-about with his new mate Mitch – just as his football coaching course is set to kick off! It’s a body blow for Mick, who’s enjoying a romantic moment with Linda when Shirley storms in to announce a pump needs fixing in the Vic’s cellar. Mitch offers to lend a hand, but after he challenges the pub landlord to a drink-off, their sozzled silliness throws Mick’s back out – and Linda’s fuming. While Mitch helps carry her injured hubby into bed, she insists that he’d better ensure that Mick makes it to his course the following day. His friend comes to the rescue once again – and Mick is aghast when…

WHO’S NAT? I recognised the lady who helped Nick steal the cash from Audrey in Corrie, her name was Natalie, I think. What’s she been in? | Sandra, Rhyl Casualty fans will recognise actress Cassie Bradley as Ethan’s old flame, Leigh-Anne Carr. She was also in recent ITV drama Torvill & Dean , playing a character called Leanne as well! BANGED UP BARLOW? When Sally was released from jail in Corrie, Peter offered her some advice about adjusting to life back on the outside. When was he in prison, and what was it for? I don’t remember it! | Polly Back in 2014, Peter was sentenced to life in jail for murdering his former lover, Tina McIntyre. He had motive, and his fingerprints were…

RAINIE BRANNING Like Abi, hard drugs and alcohol saw the Square’s Rainie spend years in the grip of addiction. However, these days she’s clean, and consumed with giving orphaned niece Abi a stable, loving home. Not only does she work full-time at the car lot, she’s also married to former brother-in-law Max. It’s almost as though she’s trying to swap lives with sensible sister Tanya! GABBY THOMAS The Dales’ Gabby has been a handful ever since she hit her teenage years, but the arrival of nasty Leanna has seen a shift in her behaviour. Now, it’s Leanna who is drinking, scheming and joyriding, and Gabby is disgusted by her pal’s behaviour. It’s been nice to see her develop sensitivity and defend mum Bernice, but we’re not sure Gabby’s all good…

I really enjoyed Trust . It’s about the kidnap of the Getty grandchild, and I remember the actual event as a teenager, so it really gripped me. They did a load of filming in Italy with Italian actors – that must’ve been mainly made up! But I loved it. I thought Killing Eve was fantastic, and I’m pretty keen on Ozark. You can find yourself going, “Hmm, do I like this?” because it’s clearly gone ‘there’s a market for Breaking Bad, let’s make something else in that world’, yet nothing’s ever going to come close to Breaking Bad. Still, Ozark is pretty good. My favourite film of all time is probably The Godfather Part II. Or It’s A Wonderful Life, or The Wizard Of…

Heard the one about the new comedy show that mixes stand-up with sketches? It’s called The Stand-up Sketch Show ! Okay, so we’re not going to win an Edinburgh Comedy Award, but Inside TV caught up with a genuine recipient and one of the show’s stars, Russell Kane, to learn more. “It’s very hard to explain the show because it’s the first time anyone’s done anything new with stand-up,” admits Russell. “We thought, ‘What if we saw a comedian’s imagination come to life?’ To do something that fresh was really exciting.” The show intercuts between stand-up routines and the sketches that stem from them – but for Russell, acting out his own stories had its problems. “There was a big gap while we found locations, by which…

CORRIE Jenny on the block! WILL SHE GO DOWN AS THE HIT-AND-RUN HEARING NEARS? She’s been in a living hell since the terrible events of Christmas night, and next week it’s time for Jenny to face the music – but first of all she has to face her arch-nemesis Liz McDonald! The pair find themselves going head-to-head, and as a few home truths are spoken, will they discover a way to forgiveness – or will their feud become even more bitter? EASTENDERS Surprise, surprise! Kat’s got a lot on her plate next week, with an ever-increasing brood of kids and no Alfie to help out.
